Give
Maybe this is lazy, maybe its weak, maybe its selfish, but I think people should watch how much they give
its a rough world out there
if you give with a full heart, there are chances that things may go awry
yes, giving lovingly is maybe one of the best things in the world
but maybe the best things in life arent free
wouldnt that be too easy?
you are risking a lot
maybe only the feeble minded are risking, and the enlightened are not
but i think most of us are feeble minded
give first to yourself
and never let the balance go more away from yourself
im talking from the point of view of taking care of yourself
if you give completely, you give away yourself, and then there is nothing more
perhaps only with God is there no chance of being betrayed because he is so mysterious we never really know if we were betrayed or not
usually there is some kind of caveat even when the world conspires against you when it comes to God
anyway
you cant fully completely and uninhibitedly trust others
the trick is being able to half ass trust
this way you dont become a social misfit
but dont ruin yourself in the process
trust only as much as you must
give as much as you can afford
never more
if you do more, you may temporarily benefit someone, but in the long term, you will be useless
and no one is worth more than your your long term life
people are at the most worth when they thrive
not when they give themselves completely away
it is also probably wise to never be vulnerable
it is also probably impossible, and if it is, probably wise to be only vulnerable in the little things, mabye materialistic things
being vulnerable is not helpful to you
it is probably best to be constantly moving and changing
this prevents you from being vulnerable, and you can still live a productive, and fullfilling life, without being vulnerable to malevolent external circumstances...
